Notice Information

Notice Title

Strategic Evaluation of the Liverpool City Region Skills Strategy 2018 - 2023

Notice Description

In 2018, LCRCA published its Skills Strategy 2018 - 2023 that set out a vision for an improved employment and skills system that meets the needs of employers, individuals of all ages and communities. Overall, the purpose of the Strategy was to create a framework to co-ordinate education and training providers, businesses and members of the workforce to make the most of the City Region's talents and resources. Since the Skills Strategy was published, the CA has used it to guide its activities and policies. We would now like to take stock of our progress and achievements to date, the benefits that skills devolution has delivered so far, and reflect on the lessons that we should take into the future. We are looking to appoint a consultancy to conduct this evaluation. Additional information: The tender process will take place on The Chest (www.the-chest.org.uk). The reference for the project is DN539125.
